they away? I want to know if I have to be worried about the birds trying to eat my garden when the food starts growing..

They will eat your vegies they are waiting for them to ripen. Get a mock Owl at a hardware store, I've had good luck with it over the years. They make them now with moving heads- quite effective.

You can also cover your plants with bird netting sold in just about any hardward store or nursery.

You can put a guy like dummy there to frighten away the birds.
